What I’m wanting to point out is another example of the media’s “politically correctness obsession”. Redskins is a derogatory term. Blackhawks was the name of an indian tribe that inhabited Illinois in part.

How about an appropriate name change, like calling it the “Chicago Clueless Tribune”?

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 16:39:46 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2333883#comment-343361Rebuild now is exactly the right move, and those who don’t see that don’t have much hockey IQ as far as I’m concerned. (1) Zen Joe will never win a Cup with a C on his sweater. That’s just the way it is. He might win one as a second or third line center on the tail end of his career, but never as the leader of a team. HE DOES NOT HATE TO LOSE. It’s that simple. (2) We will never get as much value for Zen Joe or Marleau as we will now. They are both signed to very favorable contracts that many teams would love to take on. Those are teams that are on the cusp of making the playoffs, but don’t necessarily care so much that they won’t get all the way to a Cup (lots of teams realistically consider making the playoffs to be “success”). (3) Waiting just so we can enjoy a few more seasons of “success” – i.e. making the playoffs, but not getting very far – has now become unacceptable to the fanbase, and more importantly, perhaps the new owner. If the Sharks want to keep the rabid fanbase that they’ve built up, it’s time to take some real action, not continue with the tinkering while leaving in place the real problem that’s keeping them from winning it all (i.e. the player leadership of Zen Joe and Marleau, neither of whom have the intensity to lead the team to the Cup).

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 15:56:29 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2333883#comment-343339I wouldn’t say rebuild is the right word. Pavelski burns couture vlasic are all enterin their prime. You have great rising players like hertl wingles nietto stalock. Demers had a big year. You have prospects like mueller and Chris Tierney just had a huge season in juniour. Maybe trade thronton Marleau niemi, get some picks/youth, step down a a top contender for a few years. Develop those picks from the trade and we should have a good team. This “rebuild” Dosent have to take 6-10 years, an injection of talented youth along with a change in leadership and I really believe we can contend in 3-5 years again.

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 15:25:25 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2333883#comment-343329A rebuild just doesn’t make sense. Trade Thornton and Marleau and you still have pavs, couture, vlasic, burns, demers, hertl, wingles……..there’s too much talent there to consider it a traditional rebuild.

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 13:41:26 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2333883#comment-343317We’ve been re-tooling for about the past 4 seasons since Chicago burned us in WCF in 2010. Why continue to re-tool with a possibility of getting the same result that you’ve been getting for the past 4 seasons.
Something needs to change, like it or not. Thus a rebuild seems necessary

Just spitballin’ here, I have no idea what I’m doing

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 13:04:03 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2333883#comment-343312I agree, but the problem is that in 3-4 years Thornton and Marleau are 37-38, and aren’t that useful. The fact of the matter is that they’ve fielded a very similar team for the past 7 or so years with not real playoff longevity. If they could get a good return for Marleau and / or Thornton, which wouldn’t surprise me if they did, it would be a great move.

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 13:03:43 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2333883#comment-343311Seemingly only the fan base knows why the rebuild is necessary. For those that don’t, it’s because the the re-tooling, re-fleshing, and tweaking has not worked. The same result comes and it’s because of soft heartless play. Young players hungry to win coming in wanting to play is definitely what is needed. I don’t think we can take another early exit or another Joe Thornton skipped shot attempt for a pass along the half boards that leads to an odd man rush.
